Her mother, Sarah McKenzie, married for a 2nd time -- a man with the last name of Hawke. They had a child Hazel Hawke, who married an Elam and lived in the Raymond area until her death. There are still Elam's in the area. David Mackie homesteaded property off of Rd. 222 or Bass Lake Road. Of what's left, my parents have 8 acres, my aunt has 8 and my cousin, Clyde Mackie has many many more. A cabin was built on the property in the 1930s and we still visit it often for vacation/weekends. I'm interested in any/all info about the area, especially Grub Gulch and the mines in the area. Happy Thanksgiving!

If you go up on www.familysearch.org <http://www.familysearch.org/> , the Latter Day Saints website, and go to the "search" database, you can enter the "Motherwell" surname and cite Scotland. You will come up with aro 86 listings, including possibly Lena's parents. This will include James, Elizabeth, Robert and David, all in an 1840-1850 timeframe, and all living in Ohio. Attached are the results of death index, social security and census searches. Some of this may be new information for you. This is the extent of what I could find for you.

Tonight I would like to break with tradition and intitiate a Roll Call. Normally I don't like doing these on larger lists, but in this case, it might be a good idea to try. We have a list membership of about 28 people. Among those, surely we have some undiscovered relatives. :-) Here's how we'll do this particular Roll Call. List one name per e-mail or one couple or family per e-mail. Please do not list three to four generations. That gets a little hard to follow especially for those in plain text Digest Mode. Remember to place the name you're researching in the Subject line of your e-mail. That will make it easier for those that browse their list mail. Also mention any ancestor you're having a difficult time finding. Maybe the answer lies among the membership of this list. Its always nice to crumble a brick wall or two. :-) Please be brief in your list queries. Happy hunting!
